    How did you know they were bad? I've had mine on since I got Pearl but I've never been very impressed with them. I have mine cranked up full to get the ride correct.

    Settings are a personal preferences but it is doubtful 9s are what you want. Try 4 in front 5 in back and adjust from there

    I knew the fronts were bad because of the three bounces it was doing after every bump...same thing that happened when one of them blew out after 5K miles when I first put them on.

    I changed the back just because they said I could under the warranty so this way they all have the same mileage.

    I had mine on 8 when I first put them on and it was more like the OEM ride, but using lower settings gave me a better ride, but a bit more lean and not as tight in the corners. 6 front and 5 in the back seems to be a good place for my taste.
